He could have a bacterial skin infection, mites, allergic dermatitis, ringworm, etc. Have him examined by a vet to determine the exact cause. Your vet can prescribe medicatios to treat the problem. He may need an antibiotic, anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory, or other medications depending on the cause.
